Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Zaccharie Risacher
Summary
Ament is a late-blooming, big forward who continued to ascend throughout his high school career. He has one of the higher long-term upsides of anyone in this year’s draft class, but a potentially wider degree of possible outcomes as he isn’t yet as consistently impactful as Peterson, Dybantsa and Boozer.
About
- Consensus five-star prospect who finished ranked No. 4 overall in the 2025 recruiting class.
- Selected for the McDonald’s All-American Game, Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Hoop Summit.
- Naismith First-Team All-American and Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Virginia.
Strengths
- Overlap of size, skill, dexterity, fluidity and solid athleticism.
- Soft natural hands & touch, along with a high release point, are the basis for his mismatch skill-set. Posted 47/42/90 shooting splits on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit.
- Shows foundation and increasing flashes of being a three-level scoring threat.
Weaknesses
- Lack of strength and sheer force in his game which can impact his physicality.
- Can play upright, without ideal bend or upper body elasticity, on both ends of the floor.
- His tools and potential exceed the consistency of his production.
